No - I would image him because he is less than a year old who fell 4 feet and has a 5 cm hematoma on his forehead.

Subject: head trauma in a 7 months baby
I am seeing a 7 month old baby with a 4 feet fall 2 hrs ago on a hardwood floor.
No LOC, no vomiting, alert looking, has a 5 cm hematoma on the right forhead.
Normally I do not image (CT) these patients.
However, mom is on daily baby aspirin for Thrombophilia
The baby is breastfed
question to the group: would you head CT him because "he is on aspirin"
?
